[RC] Keep the information coming! - Mickey WomackI
REALLY appreciate all the information I am getting from
everyone regarding me purchasing a young horse.
Please keep sending
more!!
Here are some
answers to the most asked questions..............
1) I am an
experienced rider - currently barrel racing an 8yo gelding - but not an
experienced horse person. I need to learn a lot about daily care, feeding,
vetting, and training. We are just starting to dabble in endurance
riding.
2) I don't currently
own my own horse because both my husband and I work full-time and don't feel we
have the time to adequately care for a horse daily
ourselves.
3) My trainer is
offering to sell this horse to us but she would still pay for all boarding,
care, and vet bills. She is trying to keep thirteen horses that are going
up for sale after the barn manager unexpectedly died last week. We would
technically "own" Ginger but Lindsey would take care of her - all of it would be
in writing.
4) Ginger and I will
be taking lessons, together, from our trainer. My trainer will be
"training" me to "train" her.
5) I will continue
to ride "Tuffy" the 8yo gelding so I don't have to rush training the youngster
just so I have a horse to ride.
6) I am scheduling a
pre-sale vet exam and coggins test this afternoon.
